We end our look at 4 new progressive members to Congress with Mondaire Jones of NY's 17th district. Jones, who worked in Obama's DoJ, made waves last summer when he successfully sued the former President and current Postmaster General.

Jone's penchant for democracy reforms and universal voting will be a major focus along with representing his constituency.  

Currently Jones and Rep. Ted Lieu are working to get Rudy Giuliani  license to practice law removed by the NY Bar.

In music history, today marks the anniversary of Bob Dylan's 1961 visit to Woody Guthrie.
